@la.donna.pietra: I've been considering this too. One month, I pay, the next month, he pays.

What she's wearing makes me wish it was spring not the beginning of winter. Sigh.

Don't forget that Brazil is also hosting the World Cup in 2014. This preparedness seemed a little premature until i realized this yesterday, but this country is going to be really busy for the next 6 years.

If anyone found a use for those heart-shaped pasties from Lindsey Lohan's fashion line, it would be Lady Gaga.

@AnotherJenn: hahaha "pro-sleep." I used to be so bad in college that I would shower the night before and wear half the next day's outfit (a tee shirt) to bed just to get an extra two minutes. Shameless, I know.

Oy, I had a spanish teacher who wore a ring on every finger. It made her look crazy, and she acted the part. I'm beginning to think this is a credible warning sign for "cray cray."

I'm definitely in the "low-maintainence" camp, probably to a fault.

@Raised-byHeathens: We dissected cats instead of fetal pigs and I agree with you that the smell was probably the worst part. I was the main "surgeon" of our group, and progressively got more and more into it, going online and studying the anatomy for hours. It was very fascinating. I felt bad for our cat but mostly…

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: wha...? Which Rafa? The tennis player?! That would be awesome.

People, in general, hate Kiera? My love of period films and historical romance novels (don't start!) may be coloring my ability to critique her acting but I like her, and the movies she's in, a lot. And I think she's really pretty. I don't have a girl crush on her, as I don't have much knowledge of her political views…

@syneblue: when my family lived in an apartment and didn't have to pay utitlities, we would crank the AC during the summer and snuggle under the blankets like it was winter time. I say, get a downy blanket (or several) and pretend like you're hibernating.

Barely six months out of my IvyLeague dorm, and I must say that the douchey guys (and girls! omg) were only 1/6 of the assache that was my experience.

@KiddyKat: omg you are hearted for we were in the same freaking boat. There were some nice guys, for sure, but most of them ended being my really good friends, gay or both.

@#c17249214:Your right. Maureen never saw a powerful woman she wasn't willing to bring down in snippy, oftentimes overwrought, prose. She, like many nationally recognized columnists care little about substance and more about Beltway manners being adhered to.

@lemonsquares: omg yes! I love me some squinty eyed Clint Eastwood. David is giving him a run for his money.

@vee: le sigh. Same here.

Dick Cheney didn't "decide his opinion still matters" in a vacuum. People in power, people who make policy, book television shows, donate gobs of money and vote on legislation agree with this war criminal. If he were blogging from his bunker, that would be one thing, but to see his opinion so readily legitimized makes…

@therewillcomesoftrains: or like Athena, from the head of Dick Cheney.

@Coup d’état: right back atcha!

@lodown: in relation to women of their own race/social class, tho? Most likely yes.
